Press Release

In 2000, Tarter Krinsky & Drogin's client purchased a Manhattan multi-unit residential building at a foreclosure sale. A woman sued more than five years after the sale, claiming to be a relative of the former owner (who had died) and asked the Court to cancel the deed. She claimed that her deceased relative had not been properly placed on notice of the foreclosure sale. Led by Ed Finkelstein, Tarter Krinsky & Drogin argued that the plaintiff could not prove that she had any right, title or interest in the property and, therefore, had no legal basis to undo the foreclosure sale, much less to cancel the deed. The Court agreed and dismissed the case.
